MICROWAVE OVEN CARE

General Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the microwave oven is cool. Always follow label instructions on 
cleaning products.

Soap, water and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested unless otherwise noted.

MICROWAVE OVEN CAVITY

To avoid damage to the microwave oven cavity, do not use soap-
filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty 
washcloths or some recycled paper towels.

To avoid damage to stainless steel models, rub in direction of 
grain.

The area where the microwave oven door and frame touch when 
closed should be kept clean.

Average soil

Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:

Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

Heavy soil

Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:

Heat 1 cup (250 mL) of water for 2 to 5 minutes in microwave 
oven. Steam will soften soil. Rinse with clean water and dry 
with soft, lint-free cloth.

Odors

Lemon juice or vinegar:

Heat 1 cup (250 mL) of water with 1 tbs (15 mL) of either 
lemon juice or vinegar for 2 to 5 minutes in microwave oven.

Microwave Inlet Cover

To avoid arcing and microwave oven damage, the microwave 
inlet cover (see “Parts and Features”) should be kept clean.

Wipe with wet cloth.

CONTROL PANEL

To avoid damage to the control panel, do not use abrasive 
cleaners, steel-wool pads, gritty washcloths or some paper 
towels. Damage may occur.

Make sure dial is pushed into its flush position.

Glass cleaner and soft cloth or sponge: Apply glass cleaner 
to soft cloth or sponge, not directly onto panel.

MICROWAVE OVEN DOOR AND EXTERIOR

The area where the microwave oven door and frame touch when 
closed should be kept clean.

Mild, nonabrasive soaps and detergents:

Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

Glass cleaner and paper towels or nonabrasive plastic 
scrubbing pad:

Apply glass cleaner to towel, not directly to surface.

Stainless Steel (on some models)

To avoid damage to the microwave oven door and exterior, do 
not use soap-filled scouring pads, abrasive cleaners, steel-wool 
pads, gritty washcloths or some paper towels. Rub in direction of 
grain.

Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish (not included):

See “Assistance or Service” section to order.

Liquid detergent or all-purpose cleaner:

Rinse with clean water and dry with soft, lint-free cloth.

Vinegar for hard water spots

TURNTABLE

Replace turntable immediately after cleaning. Do not operate the 
microwave oven without the turntable in place.

Mild cleanser and scouring pad
